" If you don't want to go back to work after your maternity leave, you must give the notice set out in your contract. Ideally, you should give notice that coincides with the end of your maternity leave. This is to ensure you get your maximum entitlements."

it was your tone that prompted that last post - the 'im not arguing im in hr' in a snooty tone

like i said, you must give that notice, no less, but you can give more. in any case i did suggest just telling them unofficially in my reply

Okay, lets sort this out;

1) It wasnt meant/written as snotty, apologies..
2) Yes you could tell them unofficially - i.e.not in writing, (I am sorry I didnt get this from your post) and assume that they will be happy with it
3) Yes you could tell them officially, (which is what the OP's question was - i.e. 'Resigning on Mat leave' ) but you run the risk of them enforcing the notice period. By giving them more than your notice period, they can enforce your contracted notice period
4) You could just stuff them and give them your notice period only

Phew..

Hope that helps...

Agreed it is paid by the government but you have to still be employed to receive it. Therefore your employer could have said okay then you have a months notice and you will no longer be employed. But luckily they didn't ( although I am sure you could have claimed ma if this had happened)

The link above explains it all.

P.s. did you actually resign formally or did you just say to them, I'm not coming back after maternity leave? The thing with the latter is that you can change you mind at any time, if it's not a formal agreement. If you actually resign as per your contract and offer them an extended notice period, they are not obliged to accept it, bar the minimum contracted.
